"They had staff out with bullhorns announcing they had found a child, they waited at the gate, but no one showed up for the child," Monson said.

One of the corn maze owners, Kendall Schmidt, said they did everything they could, including going car to car.

An officer who was there took the boy to the police station after the corn maze closed and officers contacted the state's Child and Family Services. The next morning, a woman called the police at about 7:45 a.m. and said she couldn't find her little boy.
